While storing these cans full of gas, do you smell fumes?

No fume smell because it doesn't have a vent but that causes the container to expand and contract a lot with the temperature so I modified mine with a air vent so I can open or close it. The autostop does not work at all for me when I fill my lawn morrow or generator it would just keep coming out and spill on the ground so I just use the push button as a on off device which works fine. No-Spill will send u a email with better instructions but it still didn't work.

Mm. I store them in a plastic tool box and yeah when i open it I can smell gas

yes, the gas canister has to breathe a bit, otherwise the gas can explode. Also, be advised the ethanol in the gas can turn into water causing damage to your gasoline appliance. try not to store gasoline over long periods of time.

Not so far. The only problem I've had is that I tried to store them full of gas in my shed, which gets hot during the summer months. As a results, the cans have bulged out at the sides/lost their shape.

Haven't really noticed. Keep them in a storage shed with 2 other types of cans, but nothing is really oppressive

I keep mine in a shed and even in hot weather have never smelt any fumes. If you try and pour it without pushing the green button no gas will even leak out.

Probably but would not trust storing any gas can in that manner for a period of time unattended.

No these are spare Jerry cans for the just in case scenario - the size 7 metal structure were the reason I use stabilizer so the gas can last 2 or 3 years depending on the stabilizer

I store 3 containers of 2 1/2 gallons each. If your storage room is going to be in an area that is not going to have any sparks or other combustion sources, I don't see any problem with storing a gas can in it. Ours is 20 feet from our house, and there are no electrical/other fire sources in the area.

Yes they do. So if you find the odor unpleasant you'll want to store the cart outside your home or in a fairly air-tight closet. (Just be aware anything else in the closet is subject to absorbing the smell.)

No, not really. As long as you keep them clean after a days use or so, the smell isn't bad.

I do, I have these cans for both Diesel and Gasoline and they do not leak liquid or fumes. Of course don't fill the containers to the point of overflowing and then get upset about the smell or leakage. Just fill it to the point where the top rounds over to the sides and all will be well. That also happens to be where the 5 gallon mark is when starting with an empty can.

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

No not at all. My can after waiting some 3 weeks did not work. Had liquid but no propellant gas.

I haven't used them in a long time. I didn't like the gassy smell. sorry. I don't recall them not lasting long.

No. I have been using them for several months and have not noticed any smell.

No, I use gas cans to fill. I just put the nozzle into the gas can and back pump the fuel out of the can.

Hmm, I just went over and sniffed our set and I don't smell anything in particular. I think we've had this since July, so perhaps it's off-gassed since then but I really don't remember the set having a toxic smell when we opened it and started playing with it.

I've it stored in a cabinet, and haven't had an issues with orders. But, I use either arm and hammer baking soda or air freshener as backup. It really depends on what you put into can and how long it sits. SimpleHuman makes odor absorbers, which you can view on their website. Not sure if it fits this model, you'd need to contact SimpleHuman. Net = I've been very happy with this can. Looks good, works good, easy to take lid off, the lid holds trash bags in place.

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

Not recommended as you would be able to smell fumes. Garage works great as it is somewhat vented
